One of Donruss' nicer offerings, its long-run value has been depressed by its rampant overproduction. The cards feature a distinctive black side border with an alternating stripe on the side. Subsets include Diamond Kings (1-27) and Rated Rookies (28-47). There are two variations that occur throughout most of the set. On the card backs "Denotes Led League" can be found with or without a second asterisk on the right side.

This 12-card set features players who hit at least one grand slam during the 1988 baseball season. The cards were distributed in cello packs at the rate of one-per-pack and as a complete set in each factory set. Each card in the set can be found with five different colored gradient border combinations (yellow/green, blue/purple, red/yellow, green/blue, and purple/red), but no color combination of borders appears to be scarcer than any other. The blue/purple cards were only available in factory sets. | |||
====Blue Chips==== | |||
This 12-card set was never intended for public release. According to the website [http://completist.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/1989-donruss-blue-chips-cards/ "Wax Heaven"] | |||
''"Eventually (Blue Chips) was scrapped in exchange for the Grandslammers (sic) set…these Blue chip cards were to be destroyed but the guy in charge of the press saw a huge monetary potential and snuck out some sets….he held on to them without telling anyone in fear that it would cost him his job….he died before he could capitalize…they were part of an estate sale…..upon reaching the public no one had ever heard of them so at first they were not seen as valuable….then once the story came out, the sets had been broken and only singles have surfaced since…I know of 1 person that has all but the (Franklin) Stubbs and the (Kevin) McReynolds…."'' | |||

Description
1989 Donruss is a 660-card set. One of Donruss' nicer offerings, its long-run value has been depressed by its rampant overproduction. The cards feature a distinctive black side border with an alternating stripe on the side. Subsets include Diamond Kings (1-27) and Rated Rookies (28-47). There are two variations that occur throughout most of the set. On the card backs "Denotes Led League" can be found with or without a second asterisk on the right side. On the card fronts the horizontal stripes on the left and right borders can be either light or dark. Since both of these variation types are relatively minor and seem equally common, there is no premium value for either type.
Rather than short-printing 26 cards in order to make room for printing the Bonus MVP insert, Donruss apparently chose to double print 106 cards. These double prints are listed below by DP.
Rookie Cards in this set include Ken Griffey, Jr., Randy Johnson, Craig Biggio, Gary Sheffield and John Smoltz as well as the only rookie card of Curt Schilling.
Despite the overproduction, or perhaps because of it, the aforementioned rookie cards have been submitted in mass quantities to professional grading services.

Grand Slammers

.jpg?id=a0ed0d8c-5631-4121-bc96-6505357885bb&size=original&side=back&.jpg)
This 12-card set features players who hit at least one grand slam during the 1988 baseball season. The cards were distributed in cello packs at the rate of one-per-pack and as a complete set in each factory set. Each card in the set can be found with five different colored gradient border combinations (yellow/green, blue/purple, red/yellow, green/blue, and purple/red), but no color combination of borders appears to be scarcer than any other. The blue/purple cards were only available in factory sets.
Blue Chips
This 12-card set was never intended for public release. According to the website "Wax Heaven"
"Eventually (Blue Chips) was scrapped in exchange for the Grandslammers (sic) set…these Blue chip cards were to be destroyed but the guy in charge of the press saw a huge monetary potential and snuck out some sets….he held on to them without telling anyone in fear that it would cost him his job….he died before he could capitalize…they were part of an estate sale…..upon reaching the public no one had ever heard of them so at first they were not seen as valuable….then once the story came out, the sets had been broken and only singles have surfaced since…I know of 1 person that has all but the (Franklin) Stubbs and the (Kevin) McReynolds…."
The checklist for both the Grand Slammers and Blue Chips is identical.
- 1 Jose Canseco
- 2 Mike Marshall
- 3 Walt Weiss
- 4 Kevin McReynolds
- 5 Mike Greenwell
- 6 Dave Winfield
- 7 Mark McGwire
- 8 Keith Hernandez
- 9 Franklin Stubbs
- 10 Danny Tartabull
- 11 Jesse Barfield
- 12 Ellis Burks
